Elements and Ecommerce

Elements
1

I apologise if this has been covered somewhere but I searched the forum and couldn’t find anything.

Will Elements have built in, or 3rd party, support for any sort of ecommerce store?

I’ve not really followed the Elements development cycle but as a release seems close it would be nice to know what limitations might exist in the early versions. (I have a new project I’m about to start which needs a simple store).

Will existing plugins like Ecwid or Cartloom need to be rewritten or will they work ‘as is’?

Hi @trinube,

As it stands now, no eCommerce will be included in the box (at least none was shown in the dev videos).

Existing plugins from Classic won’t work in Elements, so any plugin will have to be rewritten by its author for it to work in Elements. There’s one exception: VibraCart Pro ($60, vibralogix.com) allows you to disregard the included stacks and use code snippets that you paste in HTML in Classic. Elements also supports HTML code snippets, so VibraCart Pro will work in both Classics and Elements out of the box.

I’m sure there will be more eCommere solutions for Elements in the future as the product matures, but at this point in time there’s only VibraCart Pro.

Cheers,
Erwin

I’d like to add that you can also a an Ecwid online store via code-snippets into an RW Classic site (similar to Vibracart Pro). So this should also work with Elements.

I’m planning to port EcwidPro and Reflow to elements. I’m waiting for more information and API documentation

Many thanks. I’m not opposed to pasting code so to get started I’d be happy to look at VibraCart (or Ecwid).

Now I just have to wait for Elements :slight_smile:

WOW, thanks God! … there could not be any better news…
I, as a truly bloody iT layman, just finished building this store https://amithailand.com in no time… and that was really only possible with the most patient and mega professional guidance of the absolutely incredible Adrian Jones, the creator and owner of VibraCart Pro. This is the best I have ever seen for E-Commerce solution, in fact, a MUST HAVE! Thank you so much, Erwin, for recommending this to me.
